So I went camping and Laughlin in the past two weeks. Here are some pictures from those shenanigans:

Dave and Steph are well seasoned campers and brought all the necessary equipment. In fact, all I brought was s sleeping bag and a tent, they provided everything else. Well I did bring food and a strawberry rhubarb pie for Darren who wimped out at the last minute. That guyyyy.
The following weekend (last weekend) was Sarah and Johnny’s bachelorette/bachelor weekend in Laughlin, NV. Girls and guys drove up separately and stayed in separate rooms (of course, how non scandalous!) Here is the photo evidence of that trip:
Add this to the list of great ideas and Jewlie and I have.
Last night we went to Crazy 4 Cult, which is an annual group art show created by Kevin Smith. The theme of the show is cult movies and culture and with the content being what it is, throw in a comic book store right next door, the crowd is usually of the geeky variety, which is good for Jewlie and me.
A Clockwork Orange
So Jewlie and I were talking about being each others’ wingmen, or wingpersons if you will. Except that we then realized we had no idea what a wingman actually does. We tried to look it up but the Wikipedia entry needs some work. (Update: The actual Wiki entry for a flight wingman is much more informative.)
Then a genius idea, we should write a book, no a blog, a nerd’s guide to dating. What is a wingman? What are appropriate topics for first date conversation? What happens when nerds date nerds and what happens when nerds date non-nerdy types?
Of course, just like any other idea I have, I thought, wait has this been done before? Probably, Wasn’t it called Sex and the City?
*cringe*
Uh, well, not quite the same but that’s the general idea. Seeing as how we didn’t know what the “right” answers to all those questions were I figured we’d just blog about our experiences, but then you have to wonder, “Who is going to read that?” We’d have to be entertaining ALL the time. That is really tiring. Sometimes Jewlie and I just like to take a break, sit around, and be desperately boring, bland and humorless. So, you know, we just scrapped that idea, went to the show and ended up going home at 8:30 so we could be in bed by 9.
Alright so it’s like 7 am on a Saturday. I’ve actually been up since 5:38. This is nothing new, happens all the time. The other thing that isn’t new is that I’ve been telling myself to get up and go to the gym since about 5:50. All I’ve done so far this morning is waste time on the internet.
I should really get up though as I am having brunch with Jewlie at 10 then we are going ANTIQUE MALLLLLL.
Fuck yeah, old lady Saturday!
Anyway, after that I have to get to my parents house and swap cars so I can make it to Carlsbad for Rossman’s wedding. I swear I know more people getting married this year than Daves. That was a weird comparison, but it might be true. I might know more people getting married this year than guys named Dave/David.
Tomorrow! I am going to be volunteering at Dwell on Design with the Inhabitat crew. I’m kind of looking forward to that but also hoping it doesn’t involve a lot of talking to strangers. I kind of hate people. I also hate having to BS with people if they ask me a question to which I do not know the answer. I probably shouldn’t BS them but it’s probably not helpful to the booth owners just to have me there being a middle man in the question/answer game. Still, free pass to the exhibition, woohoo!
After that it’s on to Saddle Ranch for some mechanical bull riding with team bad decision. This should be interesting.
I’ll be sure to take pictures of the weekend. Speaking of which, I should probably charge my camera now if I want to be able to catch anything.
